Yes..
My watch has my apple ID set up with apple tv so it just worked. For my wife's watch I had to go through sync process from apple tv settings. I forget what happened after typing the code but it synced up just fine. We now have battles playing with the AppleTV, just another reason to pay $ 700 for two watches

Also, another hidden feature:
After recieving an alert, putting your hand over the screen and holding for three seconds, a sort of "nononononono please shhhhh" gesture, the watch will be put into silent mode.

I ordered one on the first day they were out, I received it yesterday,and ordered one a week later and it's coming today!!!! Both had early June delivery dates!! They're coming!!!!!
I'm not sure which generation Apple TV we have where I am but it paired flawlessly. The Settings on Apple TV should show your watch and the watch will give you a code to type into the TV. I had the Apple TV remote handy to type in the code. Not sure how you would get the code in without the existing remote.
The watch will guide you through the steps. Did you open the remote app on the watch?
Not for those of us that ordered the Link Bracelet models it seems
No news whatsoever yet, not even the email of death..
I watched this video again and it occurred to me that Force Touch is going to be huge in the iPhone 6S.
Should I trust someone with "Lies" in their username? Haha. Anyway, is yours SS 42mm? Mine has the Milanese Loop. I feel like those are likely to be quite delayed vs. some of the other models.

Rude Watch
I sat down to take a quick nap and my watch dinged me and told me it was time to stand up, just as I was hitting that sweet spot in my dreams. Thanks Tim.
Seriously, is everyone loving their watch as much as me? It's much more of a personal device that my phone as I am finding myself interacting with it throughout the day and since it's on your wrist it feels more apart of me than my phone.
And battery life has been exceptional, I am only using about 30-40% per day and that includes a workout, some texting and emailing and alerts. Pretty incredible.

Nice
What size/material/strap?I ordered mine (42mm/SS/BSB) on launch (3:06 am confirmation) and it arrives tomorrow. But, I went into the store for a try-on, and liked the leather loop so much I ordered one on the spot. It still says June, but I'm obviously hoping for sooner.
Has anyone else ordered just a strap, and have you gotten any shipping info on it? I'm guessing all their stock is being diverted to fulfilling actual watch orders, and those of us ordering upgrades will have to wait...which is only fair.

The most hidden feature of all is the watch itself, which I am still waiting for.
In the mean time, I agree with other posts that going through the user manual and all these videos is not only helpful, but it also keeps me engaged so that I don't curl up in a corner and quietly cry about the lack of a watch.

You certainly are gitty with happiness. You have posted a similar response about five times, now. I've been fortunate to read all of them. You sure you are not on the payroll?
Nope. Just an excited Apple Watch owner, is that okay with you? With all the negative reviews and comments on these boards, I am just happy to have such a positive experience with my watch.
Seems funny how everyone moans and groans about things on these forums but then once the product arrives, you don't hear the more positive stuff. So I am just reporting how my experience has been. Sorry to ruin your day with a bit of sunshine. They are looting in Baltimore, you can go read that on CNN if it makes you feel better.

I found out about the colored faces and heart on my own last night!! I told my friend that I found an easter egg!

I feel the same way, really liking the watch. I find it easy to use and at most have used 50% battery in a day. I feel like I am using it heavily too with a workout, plenty of use (my own and showing it off), and lots of notifications. Reviews from a few weeks ago seem overblown.
I have a gen 3 ATV. It took 3 tries with 3 different codes to pair with the ATV. If you've had no luck yet, just try a couple more times but give it a couple of minutes.
Not sure if anyone else posted this but you can also swipe away watch faces that you don't want in the line-up. Just swipe up on the watch face in the choosing screen like you would an app on the iPhone in multitasking, then tap delete. Lets you get rid of faces your aren't ever going to use.

Me! I love mine - and I'm already more active because I simply MUST close all my rings. LOL
